Said by: Two Poems by Mr. Shu Huyin is a seven-character quatrain written by Wang Anshi, a writer and politician in the Northern Song Dynasty. The whole poem not only praises the simplicity and hard work of the host, but also expresses the poet's quiet state of mind of retiring and seclusion, and enjoys endless fun from the pastoral landscape and contact with civilians.
Literary appreciation
These two poems are engraved on the wall of Mr. Hu Yin's house. The first one is very famous. The allusion of this poem is very subtle, and the reader does not know the content of the allusion, which does not hinder the understanding of the theme of the poem; The profound and interesting meaning of poetry needs to know the source of allusions in order to understand it more deeply.
The first two sentences praise the tranquility of Yang's compound. The poet rejects all plain descriptions and only uses the word "no moss", which is really unique. It is rainy in the south of the Yangtze River and rainy in early summer, which is more conducive to the growth of moss than other seasons. Moreover, moss likes darkness, always grows in secluded places, and is more difficult to sweep than other weeds. Nowadays, there is not even moss in the yard, which shows that it is everywhere.
Here, the humble image, because of the proper use of words, has an unusually rich expressive force. "Flowers and trees" are the most striking scenery in the courtyard. Because there are many varieties, we should plant them in separate beds. In this way, the word "Chengqi" not only shows the neatness of flower beds, but also strongly implies the richness of flowers and trees, which are both neat and not monotonous.
